FLETC wants to understand the feasibility of combining like services across multiple sites as well as any impact it may have on the ability of small businesses to compete. We want your honest and candid feedback, as it will play a significant role in our procurement planning. FLETC welcomes all businesses'large and small'to provide their thoughts on the following questions: Is your company capable of providing all of the services listed at all FLETC training delivery points: Artesia, NM, Glynco, GA, Charleston, SC, and Cheltenham, Maryland? What makes you think so? If you can perform some services but not others or at some locations but not others, let us know which ones and why. Is there anything that would limit your company's ability to compete for these services if they were combined into a single-award contract at one or multiple locations? If you are a small business, would you partner or subcontract with another business or businesses in order to meet the requirements? Whatever your answer, we would like to know why and whether or not the business or businesses would be large or small. If you are a small business, is there a potential dollar value of an award that may affect your classification as a small business? Are there any efficiencies and/or cost savings that may be seen with your company when combining any of the services listed at multiple locations listed in question 1? If so, what would they be, and how might those efficiencies and savings be passed onto the Government. Do you have any other feedback for FLETC concerning combining services from multiple locations into a single-award contract? Concerning past performance, would your company be able to show a past performance record simultaneously performing these services at various geographic locations in a single contract as a prime contractor? If not, please tell us why and what type of past performance you could show as a prime contractor. Please provide responses by 4:00PM (EST) February 20, 2020.
